Well, I've seen the problem with my binaries.
Maybe the server is just a red herring anyway, as I also experienced it
with sawfish. It would be great if anyone could determine a pattern
behind this or even better the cause. :/
One other suspicion I'd like to mention though is sleep. I don't think
I've seen the problems with this new TiBook yet, which I can't put to
sleep yet.

The latter. Direct rendering is unrelated to input, and I don't have DRI
enabled in my normal session, where I experienced the problems.
